Fall is right around the corner, and so is a veritable slew of intriguing new comics. What's in store for you? A new Spider-Man, new Buffy tales from Joss Whedon, and an absolute deluge of DC titles. Let's take a peek.

October 26 also sees the release of Aaron's Wolverine & the X-​Men, one of two new X-Men books debuting this fall (the other being Kieron Gillen's Uncanny X-Men, which hits stores November).
